Narrative:
Better guidance for the cabin crews on handling odor/fume events. As a pilot; you are behind a door with an oxygen mask on once the fume event is reported. You can't go back and investigate the nature of the odor/fume. The cabin crews need to be trained to make sure they are giving accurate and reliable information to the pilots.
